Brew serija

High quality separation equipment especially designed for beer brewing industry

Alfa Laval disc stack centrifuges have a long history of enabling breweries around the world to achieve higher yields, meet shifts in demand and maintain profitability. Used in pre-clarification, green beer separation, hot wort separation and beer recovery, they ensure minimal levels of oxygen pick up during passage through the separator and the highest standards of hygiene.

Clarification through separation helps increase the stability of the final beer. Our beer brewing equipment ensures gentle product handling through the utilization of a unique hermetic feed design. Turbidity measurement system and bowl speed adjustment functionality allows to achieve solids free crystal clear beers as well as hazy beers

Alfa Laval is one the major global supplies of high-quality separation equipment to the brewing industry. Our centrifuges have proved crucial in enabling breweries around the world to achieve higher yields and greater efficiency, as well as in helping them meet changing demand patterns from consumers while maintaining profitability. Beer brewery centrifuges from Alfa Laval ensure minimal levels of oxygen pick-up during passage through the separator, which is a major quality requirement for brewers. Hygiene is also a prime focus in all aspects of the design of our brewery centrifuges.

The Brew series beer centrifuges are all used within the following application steps in the brewing process:

pre-clarification

green beer separation

hot wort separation

beer recovery

With features and options such as our fully hermetic seal that ensures minimal oxygen pick-up in the clarified liquid, SmartEject self-triggering system, which provides intermittent discharge of solids that have a high dry matter content, a specially designed variable frequency drive (VFD) system provides benefits that include low starting current and a short time power supply, and much more, the brewer can customize the separator performance and capacity to a given application task to the optimum yield.

How it works

The heavier solids phase is collected at the periphery of the bowl, where it is discharged intermittently via the centrifuge cyclone. The solids are discharged by a hydraulic system below the separation space in the bowl, which forces the sliding bowl bottom to drop down at suitable intervals, thus opening the solids ports at the periphery of the bowl.
